Rasulkhanji, Navab Junagadha. 1900', of the Swami Narayan Temple at Junagadh, Gujarat, taken by the Solankee Studio, Rajkot, in c.1900. The temple was dedicated to Swami Narayan, an early 19th-century religious reformer later worshipped as an incarnation of the Hindu deity Vishnu. Originally named Sahajanand, he was born near Gonda in Uttar Pradesh, and migrated to Gadhada in Gujarat, where he became a learned Sanskrit scholar and ascetic.
